In today’s episode, I’m diving into 3 popular health trends that I’m frequently asked about - juicing, detoxing, and intuitive eating! With all of the Summer vacations, holidays, barbecues, and more happening this time of year, it seems that many of you think that juicing and detoxing are the best ways to help you reset and ‘get back on track’ after indulging a little too much. They’re almost like a form of punishment, and something to continually fall back on as you stay trapped in the vicious ‘on again, off again’ dieting cycle. Like..what’s the point of this, and what good is it really doing you?!

I’m also sharing my very real and unfiltered thoughts regarding intuitive eating, and what I see so often with the ladies I work with who are ‘eating intuitively’. I don’t believe you should just ‘wing it’, and simply guesstimate what/how much you should be eating - I would rather you take some time and learn how to track your macros, so you can properly fuel your body for the long-term!

ALL of this comes down to intentionality with your health and fitness goals, and the habits you choose to build for yourself. Ultimately, I want you to find freedom with your food and be in tune with your body so you CAN feel empowered and confident in your everyday life. If you need support doing so, I would love to help you do that!

In this episode about juicing, detoxing and intuitive eating, we cover:

• Why you don’t need to do a juice cleanse or ‘detox’ after every vacation, holiday, special occasion, etc. + what would be more helpful to do instead
• Taking time to consider WHY you continue ‘going off the rails’ or ‘falling off track’ so often + how to actually stop doing this
• My thoughts on intuitive eating + the eye-opening results my clients typically see when they start accurately tracking macros
• Why macro tracking doesn’t have to be a tool that you absolutely dread

In today’s episode, I want to dig into a topic that has been coming up a lot in conversations I’ve been having with sooo many ladies lately: the unnecessary pressure and judgment from others regarding your nutrition and fitness choices. This is something that fires me UP; I’ve dealt with this often myself throughout my fitness journey, so you better believe this one is going to be spicy! Unfortunately, judgment from others will always be there, but I want to tackle this subject as it relates to your health and fitness.

While it can be really tough to stand up to others when they’re questioning your food and drink choices, you have got to STOP making yourself uncomfortable by giving in to them. This isn’t helping anyone, and constantly feeling like you have to conform to what others are doing can really derail you and your goals. For some reason, people think that if someone is choosing to eat healthier and skip the drinks, they feel the need to comment, and make them feel guilty for doing so. Yet, when others are throwing back the alcohol and eating allll the shitty foods, no one questions a thing. Talk about a double standard!!

At the end of the day, YOU have to be assertive, and f*cking stand up for yourself - you don’t owe anyone an explanation for anything. It’s time to embrace your healthy habits, and be proud of what you’re doing on your fitness journey - I’m always here to talk and will happily encourage you when you need it, too!!

In this episode, we cover:

• The unnecessary judgment we often receive from others + why you need to STOP making yourself uncomfortable in order to make other people feel comfortable
• Understanding that your family and friends probably aren’t trying to sabotage you and your goals, but they also have no business commenting on what you’re doing
• The never-ending pressure surrounding food and alcohol in social settings
• The ‘double standard dilemma’ when it comes to healthy choices in social settings
• Why you need to stay strong and stand up for yourself, and realize that you owe no one an explanation for your food and drink choices (‘healthy’ or not)

I’m fresh from celebrating my 43rd birthday + my daughter's graduation and party; honestly, there were sooo many celebrations during the month of May! It has been a LOT, and I’m finally coming down from the ‘high’ of all of it. Even with everything that’s been going on in my world lately, I’ve learned that it’s STILL possible to make progress toward (or at the very least, maintain) your fitness goals! I thought this episode would be the perfect time to address a couple of questions I received regarding food timing + hunger cues, as well as what types of workouts are best to do.

I hate to break it to ya, but there’s NEVER going to be a ‘perfect’ time to start something new - whether it’s with your fitness, nutrition, or something else. You have to be willing to start messy, go slow, and get help where you need to.

Perfection is not possible, and it’s not achievable - you shouldn’t be striving for that with your nutrition and fitness. No matter how jam-packed your schedule is, you should be able to navigate all of those ‘‘holy shit’ and ‘what if’ moments that life throws at you, and not feel like you’re going to completely fall apart. Ultimately, I want to help you unf*ck your fitness so you CAN make progress, and have some fun along the way, too!!

In this episode, we cover:

• Knowing that while life has seasons, there will NEVER be a ‘perfect’ time to start something new, and we all have our own sh*t going on
• Getting your foundations solid and in place first before worrying about all of the little details
• Understanding that there is a certain amount of food/macros that your particular body needs + why you need to be eating close to that amount consistently
• Finding an eating schedule with your meals and snacks that works best for YOU and your daily life
• Listening to your body when it comes to eating before and after your workout + why your hunger cues are super important
• Why the types of workouts you’re doing matter more than you may think + what to do when it seems like you’re growing muscle too quickly

Today is a pretty special day - it’s my 43rd birthday!! After a pretty fun (but also VERY chaotic) last couple of weeks celebrating my daughter’s high school graduation and grad party, I hope to be somewhere relaxing, and enjoying some peace and quiet on my birthday.

You could say life has been pretty overwhelming for me lately, and I’ve been hearing that from many of my clients and other ladies as well. For today’s episode, I really want to share some very real talk when it comes to your health and fitness, and also, my honest thoughts as I’m celebrating another year around the sun. There's no way to get around doing the ‘work’ when it comes to reaching your fitness goals. Whether you just started or you’ve been at this awhile, you HAVE to be realistic and intentional about the actions you’re taking, and stop overcomplicating every.single.thing.

At the end of the day, you need to be taking positive action and working towards your goals in a way that works for YOU long-term. Life is too short to always be stressing about hitting that ‘magical’ number on the scale, hitting your macros perfectly, and so on. I feel like the older I get, the ‘spicier’ I get too, but I feel like I’m in a place now where I can truly embrace confidence and happiness, regardless of the season of life I’m in - I want the same for you! I hope this episode encourages you AND gives you the kick in the ass you need to take control of your health & fitness - you are worthy of doing so, and you’ve got this!

In this episode, we cover:

• My honest thoughts on why you really haven’t seen the results you’ve wanted with your health and fitness so far
• Why there’s no way around you doing the ‘work’ when it comes to achieving your fitness goals
• Who you surround yourself with matters more than you may think
• The importance of the content you’re consuming on a regular basis
• Why the beliefs you hold about yourself absolutely matter, regardless of what anyone else thinks
• Focusing on finding true confidence and happiness, instead of obsessing over the scale, your macros, water intake, steps, etc.

I don’t know about you, but the month of May has been pretty crazy, and has flown by! Between Mother’s Day, my wedding anniversary, my birthday, and other special occasions (like my daughter's high school graduation), it’s a fun month I always look forward to. I also know this can be a challenging time of year as kids are finishing up school, and everyone is transitioning to summer..which also means you may feel like you won’t be able to stay on track with your fitness goals. I used to feel this way, but over the years, I’ve gotten to the place of realizing I CAN make positive progress - you can too! It all comes down to consistency, and being super intentional with what you’re working toward.

Soo much of your health and fitness is super simple - you don’t need to overcomplicate everything, contrary to what the diet and fitness industry wants you to believe. It really comes down to actually knowing your long-term goals, and staying committed to the process - even if your weight loss, muscle gain, etc., is going slower than you would like it to. I want you to start building sustainable habits that work for YOU, no matter what your season of life looks like right now.

I hope this real talk episode gives you the encouragement you need to stop quitting on yourself, and take action to keep moving forward. Staying consistent with your fitness goals doesn’t have to feel daunting or unachievable, just because it’s Summer time - I know you can do it, and I’m here to support you on your journey, too!

In this episode, Navigating Busy Seasons and Staying Consistent with Your Fitness Goals, we cover:

• The realization that you really CAN achieve your goals, once you get back to a place of listening to your body and being intentional with what you’re doing
• Being able to enjoy foods that you love to eat, while gaining control and tracking macros in a way that works for you
• Why slow and steady weight loss is NOT a bad thing + knowing your long-term goal(s) and committing to the changes you’re making
• Building sustainable habits and finding those little wins along the way, no matter how crazy busy your season of life

Today’s episode topic isn’t necessarily groundbreaking information, or anything you’ve never heard before, but..it’s pretty damn important! When it comes to your health and fitness, intentionality is KEY. While it’s a pretty basic concept, too often, we ‘unintentionally’ drift into unhealthy habits (or habits we weren't setting out to create). We don’t usually realize this has happened, but it can feel really difficult to get back to being intentional with our workouts, macros, water intake, sleep, and so on.

The truth of the matter is, you will NOT be able to reach your health and fitness goals long-term without being intentional - end of story! I’ve learned that there’s no such thing as ‘winging it’ - you’ve got to know your purpose, and have some kind of plan of action so you know what you’re working toward. You need to be making deliberate choices to create the life you want, instead of just letting life ‘happen’ to you.

No, you don’t need to wait for next Monday, next month, or next year to start making progress toward your goals. Keep intentionality at the forefront of your mind, and I KNOW you will be able to craft the body (and the life) you deserve!!

In this episode, Unf*ck Your Fitness with Intentionality, we cover:

• Why you won’t really get healthy and reach your fitness goals without being intentional
• Living with purpose and some kind of plan, instead of just ‘winging it’ with your health and fitness
• Getting out of the vicious ‘I’ll just wait to start again on Monday’ cycle + why this pattern is incredibly detrimental for your long-term health goals
• Being intentional by taking inventory of your current season of life + making adjustments where necessary, in order to create new habits that actually work for you
• How powerful shifting your mindset and choosing to follow through with your actions can be

Today’s episode is covering a VERY requested topic I’ve gotten lately - the smart scale!

I personally use the RENPHO Smart Scale, and I absolutely love it! I highly encourage my clients to get a smart scale, because it tracks SO much more than a typical scale that just gives you your body weight. The smart scale provides some pretty fascinating data when it comes to health metrics, but I promise to keep the information I’m sharing here simple and digestible (no BS like always!), so you can see how this would potentially benefit you and your specific health goals, lifestyle, etc.

In today’s episode, I’m talking all about understanding the smart scale, and the unique metrics that are possible when utilizing this device. From tracking your BMI (body mass index) and body fat percentage, to the different types of fat (subcutaneous and visceral), skeletal muscle, bone mass, and more, the smart scale is giving you information for all of YOUR specific metrics. The smart scale even gives you information on your protein intake and why protein is so important, your ‘body water’ (so you can see how hydrated you really are), and your metabolic age (which is different from your ‘actual’ age).

My goal with this episode was to break down these numbers and metrics, and really help you take more of a proactive approach versus reactive approach with your health. It shouldn’t be difficult or feel overwhelming to use your smart scale; I’ve found that doing so will absolutely improve your relationship with the scale, which is pretty powerful in itself. I hope that learning about the smart scale gives you the confidence and control with your health and fitness that you deserve, friend!

I’ve been noticing a common theme when working with my clients lately - it’s also something that I’ve experienced myself, and have come to realize I’m really good at doing.

The ability to be able to pivot, and really embrace more flexibility on my fitness journey in a way that feels authentic to me has helped me SO much - it’s kind of my specialty. I’ve been at this for over 15 years now, so you could say I’ve had to pivot a time (or two) along the way! I’m currently in an extremely busy and chaotic season in my own life. While a lot of these are new things I’m navigating and am figuring out as I go, I’m also NOT letting it keep me from prioritizing my fitness and nutrition.

Taking time to plan your fitness and nutrition around all of your day to day ‘stuff’ is key. We’re ALL busy, and while I think this often can be an excuse, I also know you can’t juggle ALL.THE.THINGS in every season of life you’re in. Sticking to a program that is too rigid with little wiggle room will lead you to feeling like you’re a failure when you miss a workout, or eat foods that you ‘aren’t supposed to’.

I can’t stress this enough - the ability to pivot well in your fitness journey is super important. In order to NOT quit, you have to learn how to pivot, adjust when necessary, and embrace change - I truly believe this should be a welcomed part of your journey!

In this episode, we cover:

• Planning your fitness & nutrition around all the other ‘life’ stuff you have going on in this season
• Understanding that being ‘too busy’ is an excuse, but also realizing that balance really is a facade and you can’t juggle #allthethings
• How I support my clients with ‘pivoting’ their health and fitness as they’re navigating different and challenging seasons
• Why you need to stop setting yourself up for failure and set yourself up for success instead
• Doing an 'audit' of your schedule + what this looks like in my own life right now
